Recessed Shower Shelves

A built-in shelf in the shower can keep your shampoo and body wash within easy reach, making this design strategy one of our favorite bathroom shower shelf ideas. If you have a separate tub, add another shelf at the height of the bathtub to make sure everything you need is conveniently close at hand.

Bathroom Vanity Shelf Idea

Stacked Shower Shelving

Combine Multiple Storage Options
